Hi @TumainiKilimba As you are new to the community, when you get a chance, please introduce yourself [here](https://forum.odk-x.org/t/introduce-yourself/642). I’d also encourage you to add a real picture as your avatar because it helps build community!

KoBo tools and ODK-X operate based on different tool suites, so you would not be able to directly link them up. If you are starting in on longitudinal data collection you may want to switch to the ODK-X tools.
